Hidden Bangan
Let us take you off the beaten track and visit the temples that are not yet on all tourist maps and discover the hidden temples of Bagan. We take you to ancient temples and monasteries with mural paintings, temples that have not been cleaned for tourists and places you won’t find hordes of souvenir sellers. A lunch of typical “Myanmar dry zone” dishes is served in a local house far away from tourist busses or souvenir stalls. A fantastic day tour that certainly shows you the secrets of Bagan as only few have seen it.
Jeep Safari through the dry zone: a visit to local villages off the beaten track
A trip without temples but, just pure village life experiences to discover the dry zone. A great trip for photographers and anyone interested in daily life of local people.
Bagan Food!
Imagine how the meal with 300 dishes for the last king of Bagan will look like. Be like a king for a day and enjoy different tastes like the last king of Bagan with a bit moderate “only” 30 different dishes and see how some typical food of the region is prepared.
Sundowners on a Sandbank
Bagan is home to magnificent sunsets and one of our favourite ways to see this is on a boat ride on the mighty Ayeyarwaddy River with sundowners in hand, on a sandbank in the middle of the river
Bagan behind the scenes for people with more time or curiosity.
A picnic in Minnanthu
A great picnic in quiet and beautiful area of Minnanthu village including serving tasty home-cooked lunch under shady tree and visiting some of the lesser-known yet very impressive temples in this area.
Ghosts, superstitious kings, brutal conquerors and other scary stories
The history of the Bagan temples and the Bagan kingdom does not only have the fairy-tale stories of kings and queens but also the mythical stories of ghosts, spirits and brave heroes! Especially for families with children this tour is developed to make it more interesting for the little ones.
Biking through Bagan
We love Bagan, not just because of the beauty of each temple and not just because of the lack of hordes of tourists. We like Bagan most because of the stunning landscape of ancient temple ruins that seem to be spread around the area and can be best experienced while going around at your own pace on a good quality mountain bike.
